Why You’ll Love This Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies Recipe

This recipe blends simplicity with seasonal charm. It’s approachable for beginner bakers and quick enough for weeknight holiday baking. Plus, it’s made with pantry staples and delivers that special holiday flavor without needing fancy ingredients. Each cookie pie holds up well, making them perfect for gifting or entertaining.

What Kind of Oats Should I Use for Oatmeal Cream Pies?

Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice here. They offer a chewy texture that holds up well in baking, unlike instant oats which can turn mushy. Avoid steel-cut oats, as they don’t soften enough and will throw off the texture of the cookies. If you’re gluten-free, opt for certified gluten-free rolled oats to keep the recipe friendly for all.

Ingredients for the Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies

To make these pies, you’ll need simple baking staples and holiday-inspired ingredients. The star here is the eggnog, which adds a luscious, festive flavor to the cream filling. Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing, and always use fresh spices for the best flavor.

• Unsalted butter
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Egg
• Vanilla extract
• Molasses
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground nutmeg
• Old-fashioned rolled oats
• Marshmallow fluff
• Powdered sugar
• Eggnog

The marshmallow fluff gives the filling its iconic fluffy texture while eggnog brings in that signature holiday flavor. Cinnamon and nutmeg blend beautifully with the molasses to deepen the spiced profile of the cookies.

How To Make the Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and molasses until fully combined.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then fold in the rolled oats until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Bake the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden around the edges. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4: Make the Eggnog Cream Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat marshmallow fluff with softened butter until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar and eggnog, beating until creamy and fluffy. Adjust consistency with more powdered sugar if needed.

Step 5: Assemble the Cream Pies

Spread a generous amount of the eggnog filling onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches. Gently press to spread the filling to the edges.

How to Serve and Store These Oatmeal Cream Pies

These cookie sandwiches are perfect served chilled or at room temperature. If you’re setting up a dessert board or holiday cookie tray, they add a nostalgic and festive touch. One batch makes about 12 cream pies, enough for a cozy gathering or gifting a half-dozen and keeping a few for yourself.

To store, place them in an airtight container with parchment between layers. They’ll keep well at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them individually wrapped and thaw as needed.
